Panel replacement while retaining the Patina?
It's extremely hard to find a 60-66 era truck that does not need the fenders, rockers, and cab corners replaced. Does anyone have ideas on how to replace the necessary panels but match the patina on the truck?

Re: Panel replacement while retaining the Patina?
It depends on your particular truck, color, and state of wear. Way too many variables to give a specific answer, except to say that yes, it's possible.
Any pics? |

Yes, take it to Street Machinery in Ohio. Here's a bed they matched recently.

You can buy paint that has iron particles in it from Hobby Lobby. I bought a rust patina kit and used it to match the bed cross sill in my dad's '66.
